Dbseq immutable sequence

Dbseq is a small data structure that offers operations halfway between a list and an immutable array. Most operations have a logarithmic cost. In practice, it is a log with base 4 and small constant factors.

This data structure is particularly suitable to associate metadata to variables in De-Bruijn notation (hence the name).

type +'a t

Sequences with element of type 'a *

val empty : 'a t

The empty sequence

val cons : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

cons x xs adds element x at the beginning of sequence xs. x now has index 0 and xs's elements are shifted by 1. Worst-case cost is O(log n), though the actual cost is quasi constant.

val get : int -> 'a t -> 'a

get i xs access the i'th element of xs in cost O(log i). In particular, access to recent elements is quasi constant.

The operation is only defined if 0 <= i < length xs, and will raise Not_found if i is out of bounds.

val set : int -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

set i x xs update the i'th element of xs to value x in cost O(log i).

The operation is only defined if 0 <= i < length xs, and will raise Not_found if i is out of bounds.

val update : 'a t -> int -> ('a -> 'a) -> 'a t

update xs i f behaves like set i (f (get i xs)) xs

val length : 'a t -> int

length xs returns the number of elements in xs
